Kidney and urological disorders

Urinary tract infection (overview)

Urinary tract infection (UTI) refers to microbial infection affecting any part of the urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, ureters, kidneys, and surrounding structures. UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections encountered in clinical practice and may affect individuals of all ages.

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is a chronic microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by persistent albuminuria, progressive decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), or both, in the absence of other primary kidney diseases. It is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide.

Male sexual dysfunction- Management

Male sexual dysfunction refers to difficulties affecting sexual performance and satisfaction, including problems with erection, ejaculation, orgasm, or sexual desire. The most common form is erectile dysfunction (ED), which is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.

Acute Pyelonephritis- Management

Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection involving the renal pelvis, calyces, and renal parenchyma. It represents an upper urinary tract infection (UTI) and is generally more severe than cystitis because of the risk of renal damage, bacteraemia, sepsis, and acute kidney injury.
